In the garden of Eden, the woman eats a fruit and mankind has been doomed ever since.

Mankind was so wicked, that God flooded the entire earth and killed everything but a few. After the flood, nothing changed and we just gradually get worse each year. Mankind was been at it and in war since in OT days and is still at war to this day.


According to the bible, a good 80% of the planet would go to hell for not accepting Christ and even if we moved that number down to 50% for those who have never heard the gospel and children who cant really be held accountable.

What do you think mankind's purpose has been after the flood if we didnt change for the better and according to Jesus would be the exact same as in the days of Noah when he returns.

The bold is incorrect.

Lifespans were reduced by approximately 80%. God obviously did not want to deal with our sinfulness for long periods of time (Gen. 6:3).

Not sure from where you get the underlined portion...

Man's "purpose" on earth post-flood as God intends, is the same as it was pre-flood...
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV

Where in the Bible does The Word of God say that earth is a "planet?"

Man and his kind (his "kind" is woman in case you forgot) have not been "doomed" ever since the woman ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...for God proclaimed that the way back to God is found...
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15 KJV

Is God disappointed when everything turns out exactly as He always knew it would... do you suppose? Or does He find it satisfying?

If we look around the world right now, I would its only about 1-2 billion believers out the 7 billion on the planet, so according to scriptures those who have rejected Christ will not go to Heaven. Islam is huge and growing and you add in all the other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism and Atheists that dont believe in Jesus and thats where the underlined portion comes from.

A certain number of people fell from heaven and each one of them must be born until the last one is born and of age. There were so many that needed to be born that the world could not sustain them all at one time and so in each generation new ones are born and it has taken 6000 years, and now it is over, they are all here.


Now comes a flood of fire.

Well, that's a new twist on the story that I've never found in the scriptures.

The biggest laugh is this...

* an omnimax deity designs it all to fail.
* when it fails he floods the planet to get rid of the mess that he wanted to happen.
* in flooding the planet he knew that it wouldn't work and that the planet would again revert to what he planned for the first time.

The fact the above = truth for a considerable portion of the planet is indeed head-smack worthy.

Did the god know it would have this issue to deal with in the future of humanity when it created the very first thing?
